should becoming a mom make you change your wardrobe?

Just curious for myself mostly what you ladies think. I'm a first time mommy I'm 23 years old and pre pregnancy I wore tight short shorts and tank tops and thought I looked so cute and as I was shopping online tonight for clothes I was thinking about what people would think of me with a baby wearing the same type of outfits. How much do you change to look "mom appropriate" and try to still keep your same style?

I'd say if you have the body for it why not your still young why not still dress young. Now I'm not saying dress like a **** or anything like that, but if you can pull it off and look good and still classy why not? I'm 21 and my son is 9 months and it's become summer weather now and I still wear what I wore before I actually wore the same thing today as I did while I was pregnant and before I was.

I think provided you don't look like a hooker, wear whatever you're comfortable with. You don't have to wear frumpy old lady clothes just because you're a mom but you shouldn't look like a ****ty high schooler either.

Thank u guys for the quick responses I love this board :) I think I'm into the Kourtney kardashian style haha that sounds stupid but I think she always looks amazing, young, classy and beautiful without looking like a frumpy mom

I've never let it really change my clothing style. Wear what you want. Personally, I keep things classy but not old lady. We're rockers so you can express yourself without being trashy. My hair is dyed black with red and blonde highlights. I get looks from people but if they want to form an opinion of me based on how I look then go ahead. It doesn't effect me any.

If you have the body to pull it off go for it! I'm working to get my shortie shorts body back. Like pp said, you don't have to dress like a skank but you don't have to be a frump either. I struggle with trying to find clothes that look my age (I'm 29). I feel like most clothes are either for high schoolers or grandmas. It shouldn't jump from booty shorts to mom jeans! Isn't there an affordable happy medium?

you's generalI think what you're referencing is age appropriateness. IMO it is not appropriate for a mom to continue dressing like a teenager. You don't have to go old matron, but after babies you need to dress respectably with slightly longer skirts and shorts (no shorter than 2" above the knee unless you're on a hot date) and less revealing tops. You can still be trendy and look great while dressing more mature

If you can get a decent body back, it's really not that hard. In the summer, I lurve me some sundresses and even walking shorts or longer short skirts. I have exchanged my cami tanks for ones with wider straps and am much more aware these days of how low-cut the tops are thanks to my hideous nursing bras and how short many shirts are. Shrugs are my new best friend. I don't think I look granny or teeny. I simply look like an adult woman.One of the big no-nos I see are adult women shopping in the junior's section. For me, it took a reassessment of my own style and at first took a bit of work to learn where to find the items that fit my style and body.

I'm in the exact same boat. 22 and having my first in 11 weeks (yay!!). It's hard, because I still want to be cute, but I'm definitely not advertising. My strategy is just wear whats comfortable. If I feel like I look slûtty, or inappropriate, I change. I'm also 7 months pregnant, but can still fit in most pp clothes. Never did grow into mat pants. Such an awkward stage.

I wasn't a hussy before and I'm not a hussy after. Lol. I don't have the body for it. I tried to lose weight but it affected my milk supply so looks like I'm going to have to wait until he's a year. Boo.

It's a tricky one. I had my first when I was 23 (in now 25). I found a real difference in the way other mums approach you depending on how you dress. I wore short shorts and a singlet to a new playgroup once and nobody spoke to me. The next week I toned it down with a t-shirt and knee length skirt which apparently made me more approachable and I actually ended up having a few decent conversations. It's especially hard if you're socialising with older mums who are all dressing conservatively. It's a tough reality, but women are generally quite judgmental and often mothers are the worst. I do tend to buy slightly longer skirts now, but I am determined to never look like a frumpy old mum who lost her identity the second she gave birth.

My look won't change. I'm a modest person to begin with. I don't feel comfortable " exposing " myself by showing a lot of skin. I don't like showing cleavage nor do I like wearing Coochie cutter shorts. I don't wear Mawmaw clothes by the way lol. A person can still find cute clothes and still be modest.
